Reach for the Skies

Well the day of reckoning has finally arrived and Liam having mustered up his courage the test flight was about to take place.
Liam taxied the plane to the end of the runway and with the light breeze whistling through his beard , he took the stance, tightened his belt and announced - lets do it!!!

His beautiful creation took to the air and Liam flew it with complete authority , it looked great. The landing was as smooth as silk and the test flight was captured for posterity by our very own Fred - this flight and many more will , I am sure, appear on the Club video at the end of the year - so make sure you get one!!

Enjoy the photos

Fun Cub water ready

Another feature of the Fun cub are the floats - i think they look pretty impressive particularly in monster green - will it fly as well as it looks - check back later to see what happened next

Is Andy Warhol a club member?

What a difference a color scheme can make - any idea what this now rainbow looking cub started life as before it was traumatized by this outrageous color scheme - will the flying visibility be improved or not? - for those who may be tempted to recreate this in full or in part all paint can be sourced from our very own Paul D at fulldip.ie� or on 086 255 5611 and comes in easy to use spray cans with satisfaction guaranteed.

SE5A

Bevan has been busy this week completing the covering of his SE5A WW1 biplane - not long now before we see it flying in Rw - I love the clean and well organised workshop - think he might like boats as well !

Wait is nearly over

Just a tantalizing glimpse of Liam's now completed Waco - keep an eye out for the final shots of this fantastic model.

Yesterday’s Action

A few photos from yesterday in Roundwood � the weather was excellent, the pilots in flying form(excuse the pun) � no dinks or dongs to report just excellent landings throughout the day � we welcomed some old friends with plenty of tea, cakes, chat and craic. The bush pilot took to the air after his camouflage attempt and showed us how a bush plane should be flown - very impressive indeed � I am reliably informed that touch and go�s on the lake will be his next endeavor � lets hope there is not a big splash!!!
